<br />TABLE 6-1 <br /> <br />ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES <br />OF REARRANGING AND PROTECTING DAMAGEABLE PROPERTY <br />WITHIN AN EXISTING STRUCTURE <br /> <br />Advantages <br /> <br />Most any residential, commercial or indus- <br />trial property owner can do this to one <br />degree or another. <br /> <br />It can be done on a per item basis thus <br />reducing the cost and allowing selective <br />protection of high value contents. <br /> <br />A structure can continue to be used at its <br />existing site. <br /> <br />Disadvantages <br /> <br />Damage can be reduced only on those items <br />which can be relocated or protected. <br /> <br />A potential residual damage to the structure <br />and contents not relocated or protected <br />remains. <br /> <br />New patterns must be established for relo- <br />cated property. <br /> <br />References <br /> <br />1.
